Could TNG Stunt Casting Save 'Enterprise'?
Tycoon Guy writes "It seems Star Trek: Enterprise isn't about to go down without a fight. TrekToday is reporting that Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis will guest-star on the season finale of Star Trek: Enterprise, to reprise their Next Generation roles of William T. Riker and Deanna Troi. Hello stunt casting! The news has been confirmed on Sirtis' official fan site."
How about they just do it the old fashioned way and revive the series by reversing polarity and firing anion thrusters to create a temporary wormhole that can act as a gateway to the ratings.
No... That didn't work at all for Voyager...
BSD..er...Enterprise is dead.
Deanna will travel back in time to set an insidious series of events in place that will ripple through the very fabric of space-time...and make sure she doesn't marry that slut poindexter with a beard Riker! All she has to do is jetison some drive plasma, reverse polarity on the intake valve and say three times "He is an ass, what was I thinking?"
Apparently, the last scene in this episode is a shot of 'The Fonze' donning water skiis.
Are you implying the dodo deserved it?
...DeForest Kelley, and I'll be impressed.

Maybe they'll come through the same wormhole that allows Geordi to host Reading Rainbow.

No, that happened in the pilot.
How about instead they ditch those two, save all that money and instead spend it on a 45 minute long lesbian scene between t'pol and hoshi, no not some crappy kid-safe scene, a proper late-night special, go beyond the final frontier, the next generation, boldly! and it could even involve some elaborate time-travel scenario where they must get completely naked or else risk being stranded in a half-way dimension. Now tell me seriously that this episode won't get viewers?

The dodo was bloated, and had numerous security vulnerabilities.
[Enterprise 1 set vanishes, replaced by empty holodeck]
Riker: [taps badge] Riker to bridge. Captain, the runaway holodeck virus has been destroyed.
Picard (heard through communicator): Very good Number One. Mr. Crusher, ahead warp 5.
Troi: How are you feeling?
Riker: Hungry. For a hot fudge sundae. In your quarters.
Troi: [knowing smile]
Theme music up, Enterprise D goes into warp. Roll credits.
Somewhere I read that the premise behind "Star Trek" was, "Let's see what's out there," while the premise behind the new "Galactica" is, "Run like hell, they're after us."
The premise of the old "Galactica," of course, was, "Run like hell, they're --ooh, a casino planet!" First recorded instance of a TV show with ADD.
Ahh, I'd always wondered how Riker and Troi met.

I pity da fool who goes to da Delta Quadrant!

You know, I'll agree with you on the time travel thing, they have raped it dead. I will disagree on year of hell though, I thought "year of hell" was pretty good - it was, at the very least, original - especially given that most of the trek stuff is a rehash from st tos / whatever.
Enterprise, end of third season, my reaction was
Well great, ok, whats next?
Eh?
What the fuck?
Nazis?
Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to bring back fucking nazis? Kirk fought nazis, wtf.
I HOPE YOU DIE!!
I want my hour back.

Kirk wasn't a flat character - just acted that way!
